V-2nd - 2: clocks and mirrors

[Ian Livingston]

I sure do wish I spoke German. Can't say how many times I've wished
that. I went looking for this quote in the English version and cannot
yet find it, so I'd love to see it in translation. I have the
unfortunate personal agenda of wanting to get a reasonably clear
understanding of Zizek's theses in order to show that they are merely
restatements of debates long established in literature. Would you
direct me to the article in which this quote appears?
